Additional Information

Purpose

Biobanding Lines represent various types of biota (flora and fauna) and their distribution

Data Quality

The British Columbia Coastal Resource Information System (CRIMS) is an internet based interactive map for viewing coastal and marine data. A wide variety of coast and marine resources are included, such as aquaculture, shoreline classification, selected fisheries information, and offshore oil and gas information.
The development of the Coastal Resource Information System is ongoing. The application provides access to data currently held in the BC Geographic Warehouse. As additional layers are added to the BCGW, subsequent releases of the application will include these additional layers and further enhancements.

Lineage Statement

This dataset was formally a depiction of the SHZN_BIOBANDING_LINES_SVW warehouse layer.

PHYIDENT

PHYIDENT

VARCHAR2

4000

PHYIDENT is a 13-character slash-delimited (/) concatenation of the shoreunits REGION, SECTION, UNIT and SUBUNIT that uniquely identifies the shoreunit for use in the shorezone mapping system, e.g., 01/02/0345/01.

REGION

REGION

NUMBER

2

REGION is a unique number assigned to a particular region. A region is a large subdivision area of a project used for administrative purposes. The regions are numbered 1 to 13, e.g., 1, 2, 3.

SECTION

SECTION

NUMBER

2

SECTION is a unique number assigned to a particular section of a region. A section is a subdivision of a region used for administrative purposes, e.g., 1, 2, 3.

UNIT

UNIT

NUMBER

4

UNIT is a number assigned to the primary unit of measure in the shorezone coverage. This main subdivision of a SECTION forms the "along-shore" physical unit. There are a maximum of 9,999 UNITS within a SECTION, i.e. 1324.

SUBUNIT

SUBUNIT

NUMBER

38

SUBUNIT is a number used to show the across-shore component of the shoreline. In the PHYIDENT, the SUBUNIT portion is at the end of the phyident and typically has a leading "0". A subunit of 00 signifies a homogeneous unit while subunits identified with 01, 02, etc. signify variants or anomalies in the unit, usually features that have only a short alongshore length, e.g., 0,1,2.
